4 CORE: The Universal Teachings of Humanity's Wisdom Traditions

by Michael Simon Baker

Drawing from Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, and Mormonism, author Michael Simon Baker identifies four ethical principles that appear consistently across all of them: reciprocity, compassion, justice, and humility. His argument is that these principles were not preserved because they were spiritually appealing. They were preserved because they work.
